  1. Feels very much like a defeat today after letting a two goal lead evaporate. Draws at home are worse than useless as is our inability to keep a clean sheet at home. There's still a long way to go but you just get a feeling that maybe the season is turning in United's favour, especially with the Pars away up next.
  2. Wonder if we can drag a winner out of this in the 96th minute yet again?
  3. We often need three goals in a game to have any chance of taking something from a game , United away being a rare exception.
  4. We really need a second goal here to just ease the nerves a wee bit. ETA And lo! It's come to pass!
  5. Absolute pits of a day weather-wise, especially in the afternoon, according to the forecast ten minutes ago. Transient snow turning to heavy rain with strong gusts of wind. Not going to be too much silky soccer on show. Could well be a bit of a lottery as to which team adjusts better to the conditions.
  6. That was a reference to the strong wind which is still in the forecast today. I'm well aware of the rain shadow effect on the east (and, indeed , west) coast of the country. Never once mentioned a cancellation in the original post. Too many people read what they want to read rather than the actual content.
  7. Enduring a really rough day weatherwise here so decided to have a look ahead to the weekend for the game. Weather forecast for this isn't looking too good at all. As it stands, it's giving heavy rain and windy with some strong gusts just to put an edge on things. Nothing probably Arbroath aren't used to, but, overall, not conducive to silky soccer. This may change nearer Saturday.
  8. A Merry "Murray" Christmas to everyone associated in any way whatsoever with RRFC. Have a lovely time folks.
  9. Absolutely nailed it! It's a "Murray" Christmas from me...and a "Murray" Christmas from him!
  10. Backlash coming on! You'd actually love it! Then again, maybe not.
  11. 1968 if my memory serves me correctly. Could have been1969
  12. Noticeable was that with both the penalty equaliser and the fourth goal equaliser, there wasn't much celebration from the players. Just an urge to try and get another goal. Both times ball grabbed out of the net and hurriedly placed back on the centre spot. Just a tremendous desire to try to get a victory despite things not being the best on the night.

  14. It was on the line and in front of the referee. Simple decision. Penalty.
  15. There was always going to be a bit of a blip but it came unexpectedly tonight. Got to hope that this is a wake up call before the next game. To concede four at home is not good by any standard but it's criminal when it's against ten men. Collectively not a good evening at the office but we still managed to scrape the draw. Get the lessons learnt PDQ and get back to winning ways ASAP. No damage done with the nearest rivals also failing to win. Feels like a loss in some respects but in fact could well be yet a crucial point by the season's end.
  16. Got a point in the end and no damage from Hampden so got to be thankful for that, but to concede four goals at home is absolutely criminal all the more so against ten men. Lessons in decent defending to be learned big time before next home game.
  17. You all know the scene by now. Raith crumble at home and Dundee United snatch a late winner.
  18. Always likely to be an away win given we did the hard stuff last week and are usually a good bet for a massive let down. Just hope that the lesson is learnt before the Arbroath game.
  19. Were giving this away. Defence missing in action again. You know that there will be a bump in the road but surely not at home and making things that easy for ten men opposition?
